This is truly a moment for campus media, who know their own campus better than everyone else.

I’m listening to WKCR, the Columbia student radio station right now, and it’s another level of up-to-the-minute: cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/#

Okay let's slow down and take some deep breaths maybe

This (and the adjacent homophobia) is one of the few near-constants in the rap beef history tbh 😬 from 'Roxanne Shante is only good for...' on down

I don't think Euphoria's amazing musically (diss tracks rarely are now) but it really does get stronger on repeated listens, and that alone makes it stand out in this Internet Troll-off/Oppo Research Dump era of beefing

The reversed audio at the beginning of “Euphoria” is from The Wiz when Richard Pryor gets exposed as a fraud.

in the midnight hours, Columbia University students protesting genocide have taken over Hamilton Hall, the same building occupied by antiwar protesters in 1968

and they renamed it Hind’s Hall—after little hind rajab who was killed by israeli military in gaza while waiting to be rescued💔

Tears. lost of tears 😭😭😭

Columbia students unfurl a banner that reads 'Hind's Hall', referring to the 6-year-old girl killed by Israeli army..

Feel like this is 50% of tech/entrepreneur/startup culture in a nutshell: 'what you call narcissistic I call FEARLESS! what you call theft I call DARING TO HACK THE FUTURE!'

Tomorrow at 7PM, come see me chop it up with Elijah Wald about his new book Jelly Roll Blues 🙏🏻 powerhousearena.com/events/book-la…

I love this so much

I'd urge people to watch the linked video not just as an illustration of how these protests in particular are being covered, but of how events on campus are covered by the press generally speaking.

Craig is one of the few writers I can enjoy this much without knowing half the material being referenced

Strong condemnations by professors this afternoon Columbia University. Here’s a speech by Christopher Brown, a professor of history, who says the university and president Minouche Shafik made a mistake calling in NYPD to arrest pro-Palestinian protestors last week 🧵

Explaining the seder plate at the Columbia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation.

The Columbia crackdown on free speech lays bare the sliminess of our pay-to-play higher education system, one where administrators are beholden to wealthy benefactors instead of those being educated and those doing the educating.

Our Mister Cee tribute episode is now up in full on the Patreon 🙏🏻 patreon.com/posts/ill-doct…

The individuals who established the encampment violated a long list of rules and policies [that would be even more recognizable as a flimsy pretense if we actually listed them so anyway moving on...]

'I am not surprised by those who attempt to propagate hatred. I am surprised that my own university—my home for four years—has abandoned me.'

Every line of USC valedictorian Asna Tabassum's statement is brilliant, heartbreaking and infuriating cair.com/wp-content/upl…
